I'll start my review with the fact that all my adult life I dreamed of spending my vacation on the very seashore. But besides the coast and the sea, I also wanted peace, comfort and peace, which are so lacking in everyday life. After long and painful wanderings on the Internet, our choice was "Barracuda" in Gribovka.
And so in order:
1. From Moscow, we ordered a transfer from the railway station Odessa-"Barracuda". We were met by a man (later Grisha is a wonderful and sympathetic person. Many thanks to him! ) on time without delay. We arrived quickly enough despite the fact that the place itself is 50 km away. "Barracuda" is located a 20-minute walk from the center of Gribovka, on the VERY seashore and is protected from the hustle and bustle by a high cliff. When I arrived, I saw what I wanted to see.

2. In the administration we were warmly welcomed and politely asked to wait 20 minutes until our room was cleaned. But before we had time to explore the territory, we had the keys to our 34 rooms on the 3rd floor in our hands. The room itself exceeded all our expectations. HUGE double room with everything you need. Each room had its own balcony with stunning sea views. And the perfect cleanliness and cozy atmosphere of the rooms created the impression of being at home. The air conditioner is one for two rooms, but with the interior door open, it did an excellent job, for me personally, this is only a plus, because. children often get sick from it. Bed linen, towels and dishes are clean. Change of linen and cleaning was carried out once every two weeks, but it was possible to order more often, although for a fee. I did not use these services, it is not difficult for me to sweep the sand after myself (the inventory was also in the room). Hot water and electricity were around the clock and every day.
3. We ate at the cafe "Barracuda" at the recreation center. Very cozy place. There is an open veranda with a small pond, a fountain, fish and turtles. The food is homemade, very tasty, but a bit pricey. You can save money if you take the complex. Very tasty draft beer, but with draft wine it's tense, I had to go to the market in the center of Gribovka. The waitresses are great, everything was always served at the ordered time.
4. Beach. The most important thing is that he was literally TWO steps away, or rather, we were on the beach. Clean (it was cleaned every morning by a special machine), sandy and wide. And for me, as for my mother, a very convenient and gradual entry into the sea was important. The water was mostly clear, although algae floated during the storm. Two or three days and the water again became clear.
Summing up, I want to say that "Barracuda" is exactly the place where I really rested both in body and soul, away from the hustle and bustle. For young people, of course, it’s boring, but for me it’s the most! I would love to come back here next year.
P. S. Many human thanks to all the staff of the "Barracuda" for an unforgettable vacation!! !
